at the Next State Election.

Representative w. r. Pleak, of Decatur

among the Republican OF that part of the State,
said: 'iIf the interest that exists in my county
is an indication of the feeling among Indiana
Republicans, we can carry the State next year.
There is the least factlonal spirit manifested,

is to beat the Democrats by experimenting

The afternoon game scarcely we'll
played as that of the forenoon. but in at least
one respect it resembed 1t. The Indianapolis
players first won and then lost it. Henry Boyle
made his first appearance since the clubs
turn and pitched a fine game Three of the
hits made off of his delivery made in the
eighth inning, after Bassett's two bad errors had
lost chances to put the third man out The
home club started in to hit ODay. and In the first
inning ear ned two runs on hits by McGeachy,
Brown and jackson and errors by Farrell and
Carroll. After this, however he settled down
to his work, and but three hits were made off of
his delivery during the balance of the game.
jackson played at first in Shombergs stead, the
latter being sick, and made two good hits.
Hines mad q finger hurt, and gave place to
Shock in the fourth inning.
The three runs made by Washington in the
second were made on singles by Donpelly, Car
roll and O'Brien, base balls to O'Day aud
Mack's being hit by pitched ball. In the
eighth after two men were out. Bassett fun
bled Shocks easy hit and then followed trouble.

ANXIOUS TO ENTERTAIN THE G. A. R.
The National Encampment Will Be Urged to
Meet in this City Next Year.

The New Denison Hotel parlor was we'll filled
with citizens last night at the meeting called to
take some steps toward having the national en-
campment.of the g. A. r. held in this city in 1888.
J. F. Pratt president of the Board of Trade.
called to the chair and Col w. r. Holloway
acted as secretary. After Colonel Holloway ex-
planned the call for the meeting. Col l. N.
Walker assistant adjutant-gensral of the G. A.
r., department of Indiana. stated that at the
last encampment of the Indiana department.,
held in this city last April, a resolution was
passed instructing the delegates to ST. Louis to
not vote for holding the encampment in this city
in 1888. but favored holding it here in 1881
That &C tion taken because then it was be-
ieved the soldiers monument would be COM
pleted by 1889, which was deemed fitting time
to entertain the encampment Since that
action taken, however. it had become
appar emit that the monument would not be COM
pleted in 1885, and the delegates would not feel
bound to follow the instructions of the State
convention. Columb u.s. O., and Chattanooga,
Tenn. said, were both asking for the en-
campment next year. In order to give the citi-
zens some idea of what it meant TO promise to
entertain the body. lie said it was a gathering
of 40 900 men. ST. Louis had already raised
800, 600 for the coming eneampment Last year
San Francisco spent $500. 900 in entertaining the
visitors, of which amount $50. 900 appropri-
ated BIZ the California Legislature.
D. Nj. Ransdell thought the soldiers mouu-
ment would be completed by 1891. and that
would be a good time to receive the encamp-
ment, but the other gentlemen present favored
making effort to secure it for next year.
E. B. Martindale said Indianapolis had always
had the reputation of being able to entertain
large gatherings handsomely Neither Colum-
bus nor Chattanooga. he said. possessed any
facilities for entertaining the gathering and
they were the only cities fighting for it. he be-
lieved Indianapolis would be successful in Sc
curing il.
Col. Walker announced that he had called a
meeting of the Indiana delegation in ST. Louis
at the corner OK Sixteenth street and Lucas
Place for next Monday evening. and suggested
that committee be appointed to wait on the
delegation at that meeting and consult with them
in relation to the fight Indiana would make for
the encampmert In accordance with his sug-
gestion, resolution, introduced by Brainard
Rorson, was passed requesting the Board of
Trade the Mayor to appoint a committee to
go to St Louis with the Indiana delegation next
Monday, and present the matter to the en-
campment.
